Barbu (Bogdan Dumitrache) has run over a small boy. His mother Cornelia (Luminita Gheorghiu) does everything she can to control the damage, to save her son from being convicted of a crime and spending time in prison. Quite literally no matter what it costs. The situation between mother and son becomes increasingly intense...

This winner of the 2013 Berlin Film Festival is Romanian cinema at its best. At the same time, the intimate drama is a moving stock-taking of Romania's current society. Powerful, strong, astonishing.
